At the end of November I moved my blog to a new platform. My old blog posts will remain here, but I will also have a copy of all my old blog posts on my new site AND all my new blogging will take place on the new platform. I'm still getting some things set up, but I hope you will like the slightly upgraded look. I think you will especially love my new tutorials page and search bar (located at the top), which should make it easier to find your favorite projects. Just let me know if you have any questions.

During On Stage we got to see the fabulous new stamping tool called the STAMPARATUS. It is a stamp positioner, it can help you get a perfectly stamped image and it can be used for many different techniques. I could continue to sing its praises, but I think you will get a better appreciation of it, if you watch the video below.

I have to laugh a little when I see my card. It is entitled the "Ready for Christmas Card," but did you notice that there are no ornaments on the tree and no presents beneath it? This is perhaps, a little indicative of my Christmas preparations. LOL! One thing I really like about this card is that you could actually make them as Christmas cards or you could make this card even more special by dressing it up with ornaments and presents. If you would like to see how I made this card, join me for my Facebook Live today or check back here later to see the recording.

Check out page 26 of the 2017 Holiday Catalog to find the card that we are CASE-ing today. My downline Catalina and I alternate picking cards for this challenge. To check out Catalina's Cards see HERE!

Would you like to CASE with us? Join our CASE-ing Tuesday Facebook Group and you will be able to share your card with us. It's a great way to improve your stamping and challenge yourself to try new styles. I hope you will join us.

What is CASE-ing? The acronym CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything. When you CASE you can change nothing, a few things, or sometimes the card you are CASE-ing turns out looking completely different than the original.

Today's challenge card has an easy layout with a traditional Christmas color scheme. The reindeer was colored using Stampin' Blends and I love the rich colors these new alcohol markers produce. The "Happy Christmas" comes from the Seasonal Bells Stamp Set and even though I do not own the matching framelit to cut it, the greeting was easy to cut out by hand. If you would like to see how I made this card, join me for my Facebook Live today or check back here later to see the recording.

I will be demonstrating the new Stampin' Blends TODAY on my Facebook Live!!
